Standard Cellular Automata (CA) are ahistoric (memoryless Markov process), i.e., the new state of a cell depends on the neighborhood configuration only at the preceding time step. This article considers the fractal and multifractal properties of an extension to the standard framework of CA implemented by the inclusion of memory capabilities. Thus, in CA with memory, while the update rules of the CA remain unaltered, historic memory of all past iterations is retained by featuring each cell by a summary of all its past states. A study is made of the effect of historic memory on the multifractal dynamical characteristics of one-dimensional cellular automata operating under one of the most studied rules, rule 90, which is well known to display a rich complex behavior.

Standard Cellular Automata (CA) are ahistoric (memoryless): i.e. the new state of a cell depends on the neighborhood configuration only at the preceding time step. This article introduces an extension to the standard framework of CA by considering automata implementing memory capabilities. While the update rules of the CA remains the same, each site remembers a weighted mean of all its past states, with a decreasing weight of states farther in the past. The historic weighting is defined by a geometric series of coefficients based on a memory factor (α). This paper considers the time evolution of one-dimensional range-two CA with memory.

Standard Cellular Automata (CA) are ahistoric (memoryless): i.e. the new state of a cell depends on the neighborhood configuration only at the preceding time step. This article introduces an extension to the standard framework of CA by considering automata implementing memory capabilities. While the update rules of the CA remain the same, each site remembers a weighted mean of all its past states. The historic weighting is defined by a geometric series of coefficients based on a memory factor (α). The time evolution of one-dimensional CA with memory starting with a single live cell is studied. It is found that for α ≤ 0.5, the evolution corresponds to the standard (nonweighted) one, while for α > 0.5, there is a gradual decrease in the width of the evolving pattern, apart from discontinuities which sometimes may occur for certain rules and α values.

Standard Cellular Automata (CA) are ahistoric (memoryless), i.e., the new state of a cell depends only on the neighborhood configuration at the preceding time step. This article introduces an extension of the standard framework of CA by considering automata implementing memory capabilities. While the update rules of the CA remains the same, each site remembers a weighted mean of all its past states, with a decreasing weight of states farther back in the past. The historic weighting is defined by a potential series of coefficients, tk, k acting as a forgetting factor. This paper considers the time evolution of one-dimensional, legal CA rules with accumulative memory.

Standard Cellular Automata (CA) are ahistoric (memoryless), i.e., the new state of a cell depends on its neighborhood configuration only at the preceding time step. The effect of keeping ahistoric memory of all past iterations in two-dimensional CA, featuring each cell by its most frequent state is analyzed in this work.

We study elementary cellular automata with memory. The memory is a weighted function averaged over cell states in a time interval, with a varying factor which determines how strongly a cell's previous states contribute to the cell's present state. We classify selected cell-state transition functions based on Lempel–Ziv compressibility of space-time automaton configurations generated by these functions and the spectral analysis of their transitory behavior. We focus on rules 18, 22, and 54 because they exhibit the most intriguing behavior, including computational universality. We show that a complex behavior is observed near the nonmonotonous transition to null behavior (rules 18 and 54) or during the monotonic transition from chaotic to periodic behavior (rule 22).

In standard Boolean Networks (BN) the new state of a cell depends upon the neighborhood configuration only at the preceding time step. The effect of implementing memory of different types in cells of BN with different degrees of random rewiring is studied in this article.


The sixth chapter deals with the construction of pseudo-random number generators based on a combination of two cellular automata, which were considered in the previous chapters. The generator is constructed based on two cellular automata. The first cellular automaton controls the location of the active cell on the second cellular automaton, which realizes the local state function for each cell. The active cell on the second cellular automaton is the main cell and from its output bits of the bit sequence are formed at the output of the generator. As the first cellular automaton, an asynchronous cellular automaton is used in this chapter, and a synchronous cellular automaton is used as the second cellular automaton. In this case, the active cell of the second cellular automaton realizes another local function at each time step and is inhomogeneous. The algorithm for the work of a cell of a combined cellular automaton for implementing a generator and its hardware implementation are presented.

The synchronization of two stochastically coupled one-dimensional cellular automata (CA) is analyzed. It is shown that the transition to synchronization is characterized by a dramatic increase of the statistical complexity of the patterns generated by the difference automaton. This singular behavior is verified to be present in several CA rules displaying complex behavior.

This paper considers an extension to the standard framework of cellular automata which implements memory capabilities by featuring cells by elementary rules of its last three states. A study is made of the potential value of elementary cellular automata with elementary memory rules as random number generators.
